Help with Copperband in QT

[Jeff Miotke]

I had this copperband for 10 days. The fish appears to be worsening in condition. Looked like just lymphocystis at first but carefully observing the fish over the last few days it appears that something else is wrong. Most worrisome is a growth and slight reddening on the side. I've taken a few photos in hopes of getting some advice on how to proceed with treatment if any. During this time it has been eating black worms, fresh clams and frozen mysis but appetite is noticeably less by the day.

Looking for help.

Nitrofuracine Green powder is my go to for "red spots". You have to act quickly on this. CBB's seem to go sideways really fast once these red areas show up.

Yep, mine didn't last long when the infection popped up suddenly. I made sure to have all the right antibiotics on hand and started off with antibiotics from day one with the second CBB I put into QT.

Thanks. Would Furan-2, metroplex, kanaplex also be appropriate treatments?

The Trifecta of antibiotics, that should cover a wide range of bacterial infections.
